So after reading some of the threads on this forum, I have discovered that not only did the previous owner keep the battery conditioner (charger) when he traded the car in. But he also keeped the tool kit. The only item in the bin behind the driver seat is a tow hook. I did not mind spending my own $ for a new Aston battery charger, but I told the dealer late this week that they needed to get me a tool kit. I am still waiting for there answer. My question is. What is in the tool kit? And what does it look like? Keep in mind I am up in Monterey and don' have my owners manual. Should I push the dealer hard for this? I did ask when I bought the car, if it have the books and tools. And I was told yes.
Thanks,
Ron

 

The only thing of any real importance in that toolkit is the tow hook.

 

There is also a short phillips screw driver used to take off the rear license plate so you can screw in the tow hook if towing from the rear. There is a spot for a 23mm (or is it 22mm?) socket, which is an option, used to remove the wheel studs.

Like I said, out of those items, only the tow hook matters. I don't remember there being a socket, but considering there is no spare tire, needing a socket while on the road is unlikely, especially since there is no lug wrench either. And if you ever needed roadside assistance I'm sure they would have a screwdriver. But finding tow hook with matching thread would be very difficult. There is also a spare headlight bulb, but you probably won't be replacing that on the road either.

 

I'm with Karl
My first one had the screw driver and one bulb
No way you will change the bulb at the road side
I did add my own mini tool kit with adjustable spanner, pliers, fuses etc

 

Did you guys not get the embossed Aston wings on a custom leatherman next to the bulb & screwdriver?

 

Never looked at anything there. I think i will now. Isn't there supposed to be a first aid kit there too ?

 

The first-aid kit is a cost option at order time.

 

And on the convertibles, a wrench to manually close the top. Maybe only important If its raining

 

Is that located next to the whiskey flask wrapped in matching leather?

 

^^^^ That is awesome, Steve. Very cool indeed.

 

no in mine its fwd of the kit in line with a small 2 inch phillips head screw driver the only other things in the foam pack are a bulb kit and a black screw in tow hook? on the other side is the battery so that is how it came? no other goodies, in the boot is a pump kit and a plastic bottle of goo for a wheel repair

 

Thanks for all of the info guys. All I have is the tow hook. The dealer said none of there cars have any thing other than the tow hooks. So I will just carry a screw driver in the car from my work bench.

If you are looking for an Aston Battery Tender, I have an original available that I never used with the original box etc.
